To Melanie--
Platinum makes an excellent substitution for silver--and does not tarnish.
It is readily available through art warehouses and good art supplies stores.

t=0A=0A I have done much gilding in copper, bronze, metallic green, red, =
violet (really nice!), and even metallic black. I have also on occasion us=
ed holographic metallic foils and silver psychedelic foils for special effe=
cts. (I recently bound a copy of the Psychedelic Reader using a psychedeli=
c silver foil.) I saw once a book published in Australia which was gilded i=
n black, and thought it was very cool. I have since gilded books that way.=
Among the foils I like are those made by Malahide, which have a rather hi=
gh application temperature, but they are especially thick, and seldom leave=
any bald spots when applied. I recently bound for a customer a Pennsyl=
vania Regimental History in deep logan green leather with an Onyx font lett=
ering and I used a brass metallic foil gilding. The effect was, if I may s=
ay so, spectacular. The customer thought so too.=0A=0AMelanie von Gunten wr=
